Yes because this is an ionic compound so when its dissovled in water the ions are free to conduct electricity

Is dry solid sodium chloride a conductivity of electricity?

Not positive, but fairly sure that solid sodium chloride is not a conductor. Molten sodium chloride is a good conductor.


Is NaCl a good conductor?

Sodium chloride is an electrolyte only in water solutions or when is melted. Solid sodium chloride is not a conductor of electricity.


Does sodium chloride produce an electrical current?

Sodium chloride in solution or melted is a good conductor of electricity; but sodium chloride doesn't produce electricity.


Why pure sodium chloride a non-conductor but when dissolved in water it is a good conductor of electricity?

They conduct better because then they break up into ions


Is aqueous sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?

Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.


Is sodium chloride a good conductor of electricity when melted?

Yes. It forms sodium positive ions (cations) and negative chloride ions (anions).


Is salt a conductor or an insulator?

salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current


What is a Good conductor of electricity when mixed with water?

Salt (sodium chloride) is a good conductor of electricity when mixed with water because it dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in the water, allowing the flow of electricity through the solution.


Why does sodium chloride have a low conductivity?

The boiling point of sodium chloride is 1 413 0C and it is not so low.


Is Solid sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?

No, solid sodium chloride is not a good conductor of electric current because it is an ionic compound. In the solid state, the ions are not free to move and carry electric charge, so it does not conduct electricity well.


Is sodium azide a good conductor of electricity?

Not in it's usual solid state. But sodium chloride will conduct electricity of molten or dissolved in water.


Why is solid sodium an excellent conductor of electricity but solid sodium chloride is an insulator?

An atom's conducting and insulating properties relate to its electron configuration. Sodium metal is a conductor because electrons can flow freely through the metal. On the other hands, electrons are not free to flow in sodium chloride, and thus its an insulator.
